Just put together a new machine running windows 8 and would like to keep it as clean as possible. I bought a fresh copy of director suite and would like to know what other programs might be needed from Cyberlink. I know I'll need PowerDVD to watch Blu-Ray but to produce photo slide shows and basic videos do I need anything else? Do I need a burning program like Power Producer or Power2Go? I'm sure Cyberlink would love to sell me all their products but I want to keep a few dollars in my pocket.

What do you NEED? That may change as you progress in your editing abilities.
I have Power2Go for burning, but there are free ones, too.
Soundtracks are very important, I use Smartsound products (wait for sales).
Screen video capture.
Internet video down-loader for gathering "nuts & berries" from other sources. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.
Tape capture using 6 VCR, TBC-1000, Elite BVP4+, Sony D8 camcorder with TBC.

Thanks for the quick reply and the Smartsounds suggestion. Music is one topic I need to learn more about. Don't want to get into any copyright mess. Have you looked at or tried any other music services? Someone suggested Triple Scoop Music but I have not really looked into any options yet.
